Mysterious death's in Cyro.

Baccarooda · October 2019

I was in Cyrodiil yesterday fighting and i had a few strange death's, my health dropped from full to 0 in an instant and upon death the usual death splash screen was replaced by the one you get if you commit suicide, with no option to spawn at a keep only options to "spawn here" or spawn at wayshrine. Also the strangest one took place within a keep, so after the same bugged death/suicide happened the players that were attacking me walked over my dead body as they typically would but the guards were still attacking me for maybe 10 seconds untill i heard the noise of me dying again. This bug has happened to me in the new "Vivec" and the 7 day campaign, my ping was about 90-100 at the time, fps around 70-100 and was not feeling any lag before, during or after.
Very strange, no?

Yes strange but not that strange. You have experienced a health desync. What is happening is this. You have two pieces your client side download of ESO and on ZOS side server side they have to stay perfectly linked at all times. The server side never registered your death while the client side you are already dead. It really sucks. I run a tether tank and it's completely fubar. My health never moves no matter what happens until bam instant death from 40k health with every mitigation in the game, a full zerg can't kill my tank until all resources are depleted so this desyncing sucks but just so you know they're remodeling the game and this won't always be here. They're rebuilding the infrastructure to make it better and should be finished by June 2020. Until this time you may see some crazy bugs happen.
